High level bindings to various Linux APIs and interfaces

Implementation details

Most Linux APIs and interfaces are provided through files in /sys and /proc, so this library requires them to exist.

Most of these interfaces are also undocumented, and some may change between kernel versions.

This crate attempts to correctly document these interfaces, and provide kernel documentation sources where possible. This is done on a best effort basis.

Modules

  • Error handling stuff
  • Linux-specific extensions to std types
  • This module provides ways to get information about a running Linux system
